Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide

This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

What does the config.log file say? It's usually created when a configure script runs. Failing that you could try looking in the configure script to see where the error message you're getting is and track back to the condition it checks for.

Also "ldconfig -p | grep blue" will tell you all the libraries the build system knows of that have "blue" in their name.

you configured kdebluetooth to look in /usr/local/lib, so install the bluez libs there.

Whoops, sorry. That was a typo, I'm afraid. They're still in /usr/local/lib.

Sorry this is generic. Don't have bluetooth. HTH

Will check all that right away...

edit: Heh, I configured to get the log but instead it configured perfectly this time : D. Found libbluetooth and everything. Wonder why, something to do with rebooting probably. Guess it's poblem solved, thanks.

I've made more then enough new threads here today so I'll continue my bluetooth problem here.
I installed Kbluetooth and Kmobiletools, bring the dongle up with

Code:

hciconfig hci0 up

and find my mobile with

Code:

hcitool scan

. When I try to pair it with Kbluetooth pairing wizard, the wizard crashes. I formaly though that that was caused by the broken config yet it's still there. It might as well be, that It's only because I'm using Kdebluetooth beta but if someone has any experience with the subject, help is more then welcome. So far the tutorials haven't helped me make it work yet.

edit: The phone can't find the computer, computer can find the phone but can't pair with it. I can list the phones services with kbluetooth and if I use them, the phone says that comp wants to pair. I can insert the pin in phone yet nothing happens in computer. I'm using kbluepin as a pin helper but I haven't had any luck with others eighter.
